Hi Louis,

Thanks for reposting the file. Using the original one that you gave
me, and the information about variable types, I was able to read it in
and convert it to a NetCDF file using the attached script.

The script is modified from the "ascii_delim.ncl" one at:

   http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/read_ascii.shtml

I had to fix the script because it wasn't dealing with numeric fields
that were blank.

Wei Huang, who joined the NCL development team in December, has
created a suite of string functions that will make reading in
delimited files even easier. We are in the process of testing that
suite of functions, and it won't make it into V5.1.0 unfortunately.
